I thought the 1 day conferences were for all the Exam Boards. The dont specify the exam board, all they say is "AS Physical Education, One-Day Revision Conference"

I went to the 2005 AS biology one, and most of it was a waste of time... but they did show you how to best answer exam questions.

I imagine that if you're not an 'A' student, they'd be more helpful :smile:

EDIT: Oh, and you get a neat little booket with the notes in!

Thank you, that post was very helpful. Anyone else have any experience of these conferences?

just wondering about ocr bio and chem revision useful?

Can anyone post up the notes if they went to them?

I suppose they're much more helpful to people who are aiming for a C or a B, than people at the top end who are going for every mark they can.

Nevertheless, our history teacher wants to send us to an intensive history revision weekend next year, so maybe there will be some (probably not a lot) of benefit in going. :s-smilie:

hey,

there was a biology revision day today for F211 (AS Unit 1). Wasn't able to make it today. Just asking that if anyone went it on, can they be so kind as to post up the notes they gave out on the day, and if they would recommend it. [mod edit: email adresses can't be posted on the forums]

Greatly appreciated,

Went for AS Economics last year, not worth the time/money.

I went to a business studies one for AS - complete waste of time.
